I will look for a Illustration to post but for now; You don't want the air from the barn/house in that air space, when you insulate a building you don't want the warm or cool air of the building hitting the cold/hot roof (it will cause condensation on the inside of the roof just like...

If you insulate the roof make sure that you some air space in between the roof and the insulation also have a ridge and soffit vent so that you have good ventilation along the roof, if you don't you will be replacing the roof before it's time do to rot. (just like on a house) Chris

Most hatcheries sell Large Fowl chickens that are crosses. They feather sex most of there Large Fowl breeds and in order to do that they have cross them. Chris

Bob, I let some of the chicks go last year but this year I'll be only letting birds 4 months or older birds go. After about 10 years or so of having Reds I still find myself nitpicking on the type on my birds and trying to improve type. If I ever get the type down I will start on color. lol I...

Quote from Bob They could be the Garnet Strain that you were talking about back in post 2398 https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/407294/the-heritage-rhode-island-red-site/2398 Or they could be the old Garnet Red fowl which should be similar to the shade of red below. Chris

You can make a Mock Crele with Wheaten but the hens will light in color. The true Crele color is (wild type) Black Breasted Red. Chris

Eprinex is "mectin" drug and much the same as Ivomec pore-on and should be able to get it at any good farm store in the U.S. PBS Livestock http://www.pbsanimalhealth.com/details/Ivomec-Eprinex-Cattle-Pour-On/285-35.html Chris

Use a good poultry dust, one like Sevin or Insectrin Dust should work fine. Chris

I will agree that Coccidiosis is a disease caused by Coccidia but Cocci is not a disease and does not refer to Coccidia or Coccidiosis directly. Cocci can refer to any single celled protozoan infects a host. Now I will say that the term is misused and at time use as a shorter term of...

Cocci has nothing to do with a disease, Cocci is the plural form of Coccus which in microbiology simply means round. Cocci has a very broad category but in livestock the term Cocci refers to a single celled protozoa parasite the infects the intestinal track of its host. Chris

How does a animal build up immunity to a parasite? That cant but they can cope with the parasite eating off of them. Chris

Chicken can get Cocci from the ground and wild birds that my be able to get around you flock. I treat for Cocci, Worm, Mites and Lice all at the same time and I am a firm believer that poultry (like all other animals) can never really grow a immunity to these parasites. Chris

No, The Amprolium (corid) that is used in chick starter is at such a low amount that it only works if your either using it as a preventive or if you have a low infestation of Cocci. Chris

Amprolium - which goes by the trade names Corid, Amprovine, Amprolium, Amprol, and Anticoccid is a thiamine analog, competitively inhibits the active transport of thiamine (B1). Amprolium is used in the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis. Chris

Scott, If your looking for Corid liquid 9.6% and you dont mind ordering it try here http://www.twincitypoultrysupplies.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=439 I myself use Di-Methox (Sulfadimethoxine) it work a little better than Corid and your Feed and Seed might have...

If you have a buyer or if you want good meat duck for yourself they are great birds. We have a buyer and also eat some duck so the cross works out great for that part but I just wish they weren't *mules. When I do my cross I use a big "commercial type" White Muscovy Drake over "Commercial type"...

There getting more and more popular now, there mostly used in restaurants but some "high end" stores are starting to get them in now also. I've been crossing them for some time now, even before they were "the new cross" and the only down fall I have with them is that the F1 offspring are all...

I think you hit the nail on the head, most if not all of the fowl processed in the U.S. for human consumption are White Fowl. Chicken - Jumbo Cornish Cross Duck - White Moulards (moulards are a White Muscovy drake over a Pekin hen) Turkeys - Broad Breasted Whites Pigeon (squab) - White Kings...
